This could be a possible quote from Middle-Earth, but from a writing other than Hobbit/LOTR/Silm. Actually, it is from what you call a non-canonical source.
<blockquote>Quote:<hr> 'You claim lineage from a deity, but no less can I! For my forefathers on my homeland were Stallion and Horse, descendants of their highest deity!'<hr></blockquote>

I thought it to be Aelfwine to Elrond (or one of his kin).
Why? Elrond, for example, can claim lineage from Melian, an Ainu.
Aelfwine on the other hand hints on the Anglo-Saxon mythology that their forefathers which landed on Britain were Hengist and Horsa, Horse and Stallion in modern English. These two brother-kings were said to be direct descendants (grand-grand-children IIRC) of Wotan (that is also why Aelfwine would say 'their' and not 'our' or 'my' highest deity).

the quote you give is a start out. working backwards, you get Aragorn whom Sam is quoting. The speculation that Aragorn prefers porter is inessential. Well, you hit so close I count the thing as guessed out [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sorry, Heren, I didn't see that. **Galadel blushes tremendously and walks out of the qoutes board with her head down and she is sighing**
